5. Planning Assessment The following planning instruments have been considered in the planning assessment of the subject Development Application:
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 & Threatened Species
Conservation Act 1995
Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No. 2 – Georges River Catchment;
State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) No.55 – Remediation of Land;
State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) BASIX 2004;
Liverpool Local Environmental Plan 2008 (LLEP 2008); and
Liverpool Development Control Plan 2008 (LDCP 2008). o Part 1 – General Controls for all Development o Part 2.2 – Carnes Hill, Hoxton Park & Prestons Residential Areas o Part 3.2 – Dwelling Houses on Land Greater than 400sqm in R2, R3 and R4 zones o Part 3.5 – Dwelling Houses on Land less than 400sqm in R2, R3 and R4 zones
The development has been assessed in accordance with the matters for consideration under Section 4.15 of the EP&A Act as follows: (a) Threatened Ecological Communities – Application of the Environment Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 & Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 The subject allotment was created as part of a subdivision approved in 2004 (DA-2467/2004). As part of the subdivision approval the subject allotment being Lot 400 had an 88B restriction imposed which stated; “The registered proprietor for the time being of Lot 400 shall establish and retain the allotment as bushland and shall not permit the allotment to be cleared, altered or damaged except as required to remove noxious weeds or other exotic species and shall manage the allotment in accordance with the Vegetation Management Plan. A residence can be built within the building envelope as shown in Liverpool City Council approval No2467/2004”. The subject allotment is not mapped as containing endangered ecological communities, however the site is known to contain EEC. Consequently the application was accompanied by a Flora and Fauna Assessment prepared by Ecological Australia, dated 4 December 2014. The Flora and Fauna assessment identified that the subject site is recognised as containing two threatened ecological communities and one threatened fauna species. The Threatened Ecological Communities (EECs) identified within the subject site are:
Cumberland Plain Woodland (CPW) (listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act) and as Cumberland Plain Shale Woodlands and Shale-Gravel Transition Forest under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) and
River-flat Eucalypt Forest (RFEF) listed under the TSC Act.
The one threatened fauna species that is known to occur within the site is the Cumberland Plain

Land Snail (CPLS). This species is listed as endangered under the TSC Act. The assessment concluded the following; “The proposed subdivision lot layout will result in the permanent loss of up to 294 native trees, 1.41 ha of CPW and 0.22 ha of RFEF. Given that CPW is listed as a critically endangered ecological community the loss of up to 1.41 ha of vegetation listed under the TSC and EPBC Acts is considered a significant impact to this vegetation community. Subsequently an SIS is required and a referral to the Australian Government Department of the Environment (DotE) is recommended. The proposed subdivision development may also impact on threatened fauna species which may utilise the vegetation within the study area. The removal of CPW could result in the local extinction of a small isolated CPLS population that was identified within the study area”. Due to the identified impacts on significant vegetation the applicant applied for and was granted approval for the removal of the vegetation pursuant to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 for a controlled action and the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 through a Bio Banking arrangement. An outline of the relevant approvals obtained under the EPBC and the TSC Act is below. 1) Environment Protection & Biodiversity Act 1999.
Pursuant to Part 9 of the Environment Protection & Biodiversity Act 1999, a person must not take an action that has or is likely to have a significant impact on any of the matters of environmental significance or other protected matters, which include the removal of threatened species without approval from the Australian Government Minister for the Environment and Energy. As previously stated the subject site is identified as containing Cumberland Plain Shale Woodlands and Shale-Gravel Transition Forest which is identified as EEC under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999). Consequently the applicant applied for and was granted approval for a controlled action by the Department of Environment and Energy (Reference: 2015/7627) on 21 November 2017. The link to the relevant approvals is provided below. http://epbcnotices.environment.gov.au/publicnoticesreferrals/ As a condition of the approved controlled action the approval holder must not clear more than 2.29 hectares of Cumberland Plain Shale Woodlands and Shale-Gravel Transition Forest (CPW) within the proposed action area. All requirements of the approved controlled will form part of the conditions of consent.
2) Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 As indicated previously the subject site has been identified as containing the following EEC’s under the TSC Act 1995; The Threatened Ecological Communities (EECs) identified within the subject site are:
Cumberland Plain Woodland (CPW);
River-flat Eucalypt Forest (RFEF) and
One threatened fauna species that is known to occur within the site is the Cumberland Plain Land Snail - CPLS).

The flora and fauna assessment submitted with the application concluded that there will be a significant impact on the above-mentioned species and a species impact statement (SIS) is required for the project. However in lieu of a SIS, the applicant sought to enter a Biodiversity Banking and Offset Scheme, under Part 7AA of the TSC Act 1995. The applicant was granted approval for the Biokbanking Offsets on 3 May 2017 by the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). The requirements and conditional requirements of the OEH Bio banking approval will form part of the development consent. Conclusion Having regard to the above, notwithstanding the identified significance of the existing vegetation the proposed development has obtained the relevant approvals under the applicable legislation to enable the development to proceed. (b) Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No.2 – Georges River Catchment
(Deemed SEPP) The subject land is located within the Georges River Catchments and as such The Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No. 2 – Georges River applies to the application. The Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No. 2 – Georges River Catchment generally aims to maintain and improve the water quality and river flows of the Georges River and its tributaries. The DA was referred to Council’s Land Development engineering section who reviewed stormwater management and drainage associated with the proposal. They were supportive of the proposed development, subject to conditions. Accordingly, the proposed development is considered to meet the objectives of the SEPP and is unlikely to have a negative impact on the environmental quality of the Georges River Catchment. (c) State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 - Remediation of Land
Pursuant to Clause 7 of SEPP 55, a consent authority is unable to grant development consent unless it has considered whether the land is contaminated and, if so, whether the consent authority is satisfied that the land is suitable in its contaminated state, or can be remediated to be made suitable for the purposes for which the development is proposed to be carried out. Council must consider this and the likelihood of any contamination on-site and the possible impacts which may arise from any works associated with this proposal.
Clause 7 - Contamination and remediation to be considered in determining development application
Comment
(1) A consent authority must not consent to the carrying out of any development on land unless:
(a) it has considered whether the land is contaminated, and
The applicant submitted a Detailed Site Investigation prepared by Aargus Pty Ltd
(b) if the land is contaminated, it is satisfied that the land is suitable in its contaminated state (or will be suitable, after remediation) for the purpose for which the development is proposed to be carried out, and
The report concluded that the subject site is suitable for the proposed use.

(c) if the land requires remediation to be made suitable for the purpose for which the development is proposed to be carried out, it is satisfied that the land will be remediated before the land is used for that purpose.
The land does not require remediation.
Based on the above assessment, the proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant objectives and provisions of SEPP 55, therefore, it is considered that the subject site is suitable for the proposed development. (d) State Environmental Planning Policy – Building Sustainability Index: BASIX 2004 The proposal is accompanied by a BASIX Certificate which is consistent with the aims and intent of the Plan. It is recommended that appropriate conditions are imposed to ensure compliance with the BASIX commitments. (e) Liverpool Local Environmental Plan 2008 (LLEP 2008)
(i) Permissibility The subject site is zoned R2 – Low Density Residential in accordance with the Liverpool Local Environmental Plan (LLEP 2008). The proposed developments are best described as “dwellings” which is a permissible form of development with consent. The subject proposal also involves the subdivision of land. Subdivision is a permissible form of development pursuant to Clause 2.6 of the LLEP 2008.

Comment: The subject site is not listed as a heritage item in the LLEP 2008, is not located within the immediate vicinity of a heritage item and is not located in a heritage conservation area. The subject site is a large parcel of undeveloped land covered with vegetation and in close proximity to ephemeral watercourses, thus increasing the likelihood of Aboriginal cultural deposits. A search of the Aboriginal Heritage information Management System found two Aboriginal sites on the allotment. The application was consequently accompanied by an Aboriginal Archaeological Assessment, dated December 2014, prepared by Comber Consultants. The assessment made the following recommendations;
1. An Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) will be required as there are two registered
Aboriginal sites (AHIMS 45‐5‐4319, 45‐5‐4320) located on the property. Archaeological testing, salvage and Aboriginal community consultation must be undertaken prior to applying for an AHIP.
2. Aboriginal community consultation in accordance with OEH’s Aboriginal cultural heritage consultation requirements for proponents 2010 must be undertaken prior to applying for the permit.
3. Once the consultation has been completed archaeological testing must be undertaken in accordance with the Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in New South Wales in consultation with the registered Aboriginal stakeholders. This must be undertaken prior to applying for the AHIP and the results submitted with the AHIP application.

Heads of Consideration
Comment
Built Environment
The proposed development, as amended, is unlikely to create any adverse impacts on the surrounding built environment. The proposed development is considered to be of an appropriate scale and is unlikely to create any detrimental impacts on the adjoining properties or the locality as a whole. The proposal will facilitate residential development which is not considered an over-development and is consistent with the desired future built character of the locality.
Natural Environment
All assessments submitted with the application has identified a significant impact on the existing natural environment on the site, in particular the impact on the identified EEC’s on the site. However as identified in this report the applicant has obtained the relevant approvals under the EPBC and TSC Acts to offset the detrimental impact on the natural environment.
Social Impacts The application is unlikely to cause detrimental social impacts, being consistent with the current low density character of the area. The proposal will enable a development that will provide for the future housing needs of the community.
Economic Impacts
The proposal is likely to result in a positive economic impact in the locality through the capital investment of the development.
Section 4.15(1)(c) – The Suitability of the Site for the Development The subject proposal is a permissible development and the proposal satisfies the key planning controls for site as detailed above and is generally considered to be suitable for the site.

subdivided over. The key issues assessed within the proposed development relate to ensuring Council Park Maintenance Crew access and non-obstruction of structures on the over-land flow path of proposed Lot 1, which is a requirement of restrictions over the land to be transferred with the proposed re-subdivision. The proposal was not required to be placed on public exhibition in accordance with LDCP. Due to the application proposing the re-subdivision of land owned by Liverpool City Council, it is referred to the Liverpool Local Planning Panel (LLPP) in accordance with its referral criteria and procedural requirements. The application has been assessed pursuant to the provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (EP&A) Act 1979, and the assessment has concluded that the proposal is generally satisfactory and achieves compliance with the relevant planning controls relevant to the proposal including LLEP 2008, and LDCP. 2.

The current DA was lodged 3 May 2019 and the sale of the land was settled in late May 2019.
Council’s Development Assessment and Land Development Engineers sought additional information relating to the demolition of an awning and the formalising of drainage from proposed Lot 4, to the Public Reserve.
The applicant has submitted details of how drainage of Proposed Lot 4 can be formalised via a proposed easement (H) to drain water over proposed Lot 1, to discharge into Council’s reserve via existing easement (A).
4. Details of the Proposed Development
The proposed development seeks consent for the: Boundary Adjustment to Five (5) existing lots resulting in Four (4) re-configured allotments. The lot re-alignment and lot consolidation is proposed to align with the adjoining R2 Low Density Residential and RE1 Public Recreation zones. The scope of works includes minor demolition works and erection of new boundary fencing. Specifically, the proposal consists of the following; Demolition Demolition of an awning structure and associated concrete slab which is located encroaching over the boundary between proposed Lots 1 and 2.
Construction Construction of 1.8m high palisade / security fencing with supporting brick piers to a 2.1m height, in the following locations:
o Along the frontage of Lot 1 adjacent to Kennedy Street and McLean Street. o Along the rear boundary of Lot 1 with the Public Reserve.
Both fences are provided with pedestrian gates and double vehicle access gates. Note: the fencing is required to be open due to the flood / overland flow affectation of the site requiring waters to flow through during flood and stormwater events. Boundary Adjustment and re-subdivision
o Proposed Torrens Title Lot 1 is created by the consolidation of part of ‘Tepper Park’ and McLean Street into 41 Kennedy Street
o Proposed Torrens Title Lot 2 is created by the consolidation of part of ‘Tepper Park’ and part of 52 McLean Street into 41 Kennedy Street.
o Proposed Torrens Title Lot 2 is created by the consolidation of part of McLean Street into 81 Lehmann Avenue.
o Proposed Lot 3 is created from the remaining land in the RE1 zone (Tepper Park), due to the zone alignment.
Site Access Vehicular access to the lots is as follows:
LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL

- Proposed Lot 1 via Kennedy Street Frontage with rear access to the public reserve for
emergency access during bushfire or floor events if required; - Proposed Lot 2 via Kennedy Street as existing; - Proposed Lot 4 via Lehmann Avenue as existing; - Proposed Lot 3 (Tepper Park), can be accessed by pedestrians via RE1 zoned reserve
land located 120m to the north of the subject land. Site Servicing Standard conditions of consent will ensure the created lots are provided with the standard site service utilities required for residential land. Note: the land currently utilised as the extension to McLean Street (closed road) is not proposed to be developed by this DA. This land has significant restrictions over is as it is an overland flow path and has many easements for drainage and access which benefit Liverpool City Council and Sydney Water. These easements are to be transferred to the proposed Lot 1. Further, as the land is not being developed and use is not changing (existing hard surface pavement), it is considered any contamination of the not be required to be remediated to facilitate this proposed re-subdivision. Rather a restriction shall be placed on the title requiring any further development of the site require development consent in which likely site remediation is required. Extracts of the proposed plans are shown below.

5. STATUTORY CONSIDERATIONS Relevant matters for consideration The relevant planning instruments/policies for the proposed development are as follows:
State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 – Remediation of Land;
Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No. 2 – Georges River Catchment (now deemed SEPP);
Liverpool Local Environmental Plan (LLEP) 2008;
Liverpool Development Control Plan (LDCP) 2008;
- Part 1: General Controls for All Development; - Part 3.8: Non-residential development in residential zones
6. ASSESSMENT The development application has been assessed in accordance with the relevant matters of consideration prescribed by Section 4.15 of the EP&A 1979 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 as follows: 6.1 Section 4.15(1)(a)(1) – Any Environmental Planning Instrument
(a) State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 – Remediation of Land Pursuant to Clause 7 of SEPP 55, a consent authority is unable to grant development consent unless it has considered whether the land is contaminated and, if so, whether the consent authority is satisfied that the land is suitable in its contaminated state, or can be remediated to be made suitable for the purposes for which the development is proposed to be carried out. Although the land over which is located the existing dwellings and church is unlikely to be contaminated due to previous long-term ongoing use, Council must consider the likelihood of any contamination on-site in particular with respect to the land previously used as a road in McLean Street (previously issued a Subdivision Certificate) and that used as part of ‘Tepper Park’. Consideration has been given to this issue. As the proposed boundary adjustments do not result in any specific works apart from demolition of an awning / slab and construction of light-weight fencing, it is considered the proposed scope of works would not ordinarily attract the need to remediate a contaminated site in entirety, given that the use of the site effectively remains consistent with its zoning. Further, it is considered conditions of consent requiring compliance with contamination standards for any ancillary work be applied for enforcement should any unlikely finds be uncovered during any works. Even so, it is considered prudent to require a restriction over Lots 1 and 2 from further wholesale development without evidence that the site can be developed / used in an uncontaminated environment. Council is satisfied that the land is suitable for ongoing residential and Place of Public Worship use, and that any ancillary works to enable the proposed subdivision are appropriate in this

instance. (b) Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No. 2 – Georges River
Catchment (Deemed SEPP) The subject land is located within the Georges River Catchments and as such the Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No. 2 – Georges River applies to the application. The Greater Metropolitan Regional Environmental Plan No. 2 – Georges River Catchment generally aims to maintain and improve the water quality and river flows of the Georges River and its tributaries. When a consent authority determines a development application, planning principles are to be applied (Clause 7(b)). Accordingly, a table summarising the matters for consideration in determining development applications (Clause 8 and Clause 9), and compliance with such is provided within Attachment 3 of this report.
It is considered that the proposal satisfies the provisions of the GMREP No.2 subject to appropriate sedimentation and erosion controls being implemented during demolition and fence construction works, as otherwise, the condition of storm-water discharge remains unchanged from the existing scenario, and as overland flow-paths are not interrupted.
(c) Liverpool Local Environmental Plan 2008 (i) Zoning The subject site is zoned R2 Low Density Residential pursuant to the LLEP 2008. An extract of the zoning map is provided in Figure 6 below.
Figure 8: Zoning Map extract.
(ii) Permissibility

To provide for the housing needs of the community within a low density residential
environment.
To enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to meet the day to day
needs of residents.
To provide a suitable low scale residential character commensurate with a low
dwelling density.
To ensure that a high level of residential amenity is achieved and maintained.
The proposal generally satisfies the above objectives of the R2 zone as it does not cause any of the above objectives to be unachievable. (iv) Principal Development Standards and Provisions
The application has also been considered against the relevant provisions and principal development standards of the LLEP 2008, which are listed in the table below. The proposal demonstrates compliance with the LLEP 2008, where applicable.
